And the 2011 Golden Schmoes winners are...!!

As in previous years, it was the film with the most nominations
(DRIVE had the most noms this year with 15) that ended up with the most
wins at the Golden Schmoes this year, as Nicolas Winding Refn's film won
the biggest award for "Favorite Movie", while he personally also
won for "Best Director". The film ultimately ended up with the
most wins from any film this year, which was 6 including "Best Actor"
for Ryan Gosling (who also won for "Favorite Celebrity" of the
year, btw), "Coolest Character" for The Driver in the
film (aka Gosling again), as well as "Best Music" and "Most
Memorable Scene in a movie" (c'mon...you must remember what it is!).

Unlike previous years where one film will dominate the
Golden Schmoes (see table below), it was an overall mix of different films
winning this year, which is what I personally prefer anyway (I think it's
kinda boring to vote for the same movie in every single category).

The other three big winners this year were David Fincher's
latest entitlted THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, which won
3 different categories including "Best Actress" for Rooney Mara,
as well as "Best Music" and "Best Trailer". Fincher
always wins something in the Golden Schmoes! It's interesting to
note that Fincher himself was the runner-up to Mr. Refn for "Best
Director" this year.

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES surprised
many people this past summer and continued to surprise at our awards as it
also picked up 3 wins including (you guessed it!) "Biggest Surprise",
as well as "Best Special Effects" (natch!) and Andy Serkis' 2nd
win as "Best Supporting Actor" for playing a CGI character in a
movie. He also won in
2002 for his portrayal of the loveable Gollum.

Lastly, but not leastly, X-MEN: FIRST CLASS
also managed to surprise a lot of people this year (especially after the
Ratner-ization of the X-MEN series with THE LAST STAND), as it finished
only a few votes shy of RISE OF THE APES for "Biggest Surprise" but also
finished as the runner-up for "Favorite Movie" of the year! Pretty
impressive. But even though it didn't win those two categories, it did
manage to snag "Best Sci-Fi" movie of the year, "Breakthrough
Performance" for Michael Fassbender's portrayal of Magneto (also the
runner-up for "Coolest Character") and the "Best Line" of the
year delivered by the great Wolverine: "Go f*ck yourself."

Unfortunately for other films like SUPER 8 (7
nominations), MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL (6 nominations) and BBRIDESMAIDS
(6 nominations), there wasn't much left over for them as SUPER 8
got completely shut out (although Elle Fanning finished a close runner-up
as "Best Supporting Actress"), MI4 took home the obvious award for them
for "Best Action Sequence" because Tom Cruise was awesome
climbing that uber-tall building in Dubai, while BRIDESMAIDS
did end up with 2 awards including "Best Comedy" (although it
also finished runner-up for "Most Overrated" film of the year) and Melissa
McCarthy's awesome performance as "Best Supporting Actress".

Also, I thought it was poetic justice for Kirsten Wiig to
finish in 2nd place for "Best Actress" (always the bridesmaid, never the
bride...hehe). You can see the full

Mostly good choices schmoes

I like most of the winners, Drive deserved to win most of what it won (though maybe not acting), especially on this site. Rooney Mara was great, the Burj Khalifa sequence was incredible in IMAX so that's another worthy winner and the best line was a no brainer if you ask me.
It's a shame that The Artist was completely left out of the GS however. It might be an Academy favorite and falsly considered as a artsy fartsy movie, but it truly was one of the most entertaining and feel good movies of

It might be an Academy favorite and falsly considered as a artsy fartsy movie, but it truly was one of the most entertaining and feel good movies of the year and I thought it should get some recognition. Especially in the acting, music and comedic department

Geez, I'm split down the middle with these results, which usually never happens. I usually turn to these as corrections for the Oscars, but some of these results are just unbelievable.

I am glad to see Drive take Favorite movie. The only two that were deserving from the nominees were X-Men and Drive, so that went pretty well. Refn was also very deserving of Best Director.

It should also be noted that Fassbender did indeed have the breakout performance of the year, not only in X-Men, but

It should also be noted that Fassbender did indeed have the breakout performance of the year, not only in X-Men, but in several films, so it's good to see him get a little recognition for coming out of nowhere and continually stunning audiences.

However, there were several results that were just bizarre:

For one thing, how did 50/50 beat four better screenplays? and why don't people seem to understand that, for a movie to be deemed "overrated," there has to be a majority that thinks it's good? (i.e. most people thought Breaking Dawn was shit, so how is it "overrated"?) Meaning that the only real nominees in that category were Bridesmaids (the clear winner) and Drive. Also some pretty big fails in the Best Comedy (Bridesmaids??? REALLY???, over four far-superior movies?), Horror (All of these nominees sucked, but Insidious was the closest to being a good horror film), and Animated categories (the supremely overrated Rango strikes again, beating out four superior films).

Best Actress, Supporting Actor, and Supporting Actress also went pretty badly. Hopefully the Oscars will do better... well, except for Supporting Actor, which they're gonna give to Plummer for his overrated performance, but that can't be helped.

OK, enough bitching, I know it's just opinions and all, but I'm just surprised that several of the categories turned out this badly. Whatever, at the very least a great movie won Favorite Film.

lollll

This is it? Wow talk about typical. The only films that deserved their wins was for best comedy of the year Bridesmaids and for best action scene of the year MI4 but the rest are either very overrated or just not amazing enough to have won. Best horror movie Attack The Block, you have got to be joking! It should of went to Stake Land or Final Destination 5. Typical and boring. Lets see if the Academy Awards get it right, probably not but I always have hope.

It was tough trying to decide between Apes and X-Men for 'Sci-Fi' and 'biggest surprise' - always a good thing. Nice overall wins, but I am surprised that Rango won over Tin Tin. I thought Tin Tin would have won by a large margin.

I didn't vote this year due to Drive not being represented in the "Worst Move Of The Year" category. It really sucks that this movie struck a chord, and that people might actually try to emulate this poor style in the future.

Hey, look at that, an "overly aggressive contrarian comment to prove my independent thinking." Well allow me to post my "Angry fanboy retort" so that you can post your "rant about how fanboys are ruining pop culture."
